Jazz is a celebration of the human spirit expressed through music. Jazz Utsav is a festival of this celebration, the annual coming together of jazz music, jazz musicians and jazz fans for three days in Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore. Since the 1980s, when it was known as the Jazz Yatra, this festival of music has been one of the highpoints of the cultural calendar in these cities. From the early years, musicians from all over the world, many of them household names, like Sonny Rollins, Stephan Grappelli, Trilok Guru and Freddie Hubbard, have enthralled audiences. The Utsav this year has an equally formidable global line-up, with bands and artists from Italy, Norway, The Netherlands, U.S.A, Germany and Poland. And, of course, keeping in mind the objective of promoting jazz music and musicians in the country, there will be top Indian representatives  at both Delhi and Mumbai.
